Where are you exporting it to? Make sure it has at least a FAT32 and preferably an NTFS filesystem

USB Flash drive; FAT32

That is an I/O error which means writing to the drive failed for some reason. Try exporting to your C: drive instead, you can always copy the exported data over manually after.
